R.I.P
Pip - The Rat
Sadly Pip is no longer with us having passed away 6th August 2011.
She was a dear little dog who was very much top of the pack with a bark to match.
Pip is very much missed in our home, especially the ritual greeting when Ian gets home – a flat out run up the hill, barking all the way, a quick pat and lick then flat out down the hill chasing the big dogs out of his way – marvellous!

Animal Magic
Animal Magic are the fabulous people who walk the dogs during the working week. The reason we like Maria and Steve is that they clearly love the animals they look after. Have a look at their website.

They can regularly be seen collecting or delivering the dogs - easy to tell which by how dirty the dogs are, they do like muddy puddles!
